cultureJun 3, 20269270

Actor Shia LaBeouf pleaded guilty Wednesday to three counts of simple battery for punching bargoers outside a New Orleans bar during February's Mardi Gras. Under a negotiated plea, a judge ordered two years of probation and imposed a six-month suspended jail sentence, avoiding immediate incarceration. The misdemeanor convictions stem from multiple strikes in the street outside the bar and resolve the criminal case. The outcome matters for LaBeouf's legal record and could affect future travel permissions and casting decisions.
